In this chapter we have discussed a lot about the history of education. How people took individuals and taught them the essentials of survival, then proceeded to teach them how to make life better through learning, and eventually how they could better themselves through education. Also we have discussed segregation in detail. The way individuals made something of themselves regardless of how other people viewed them. 

In the classroom I can see how segregation could potentially be an issue, for example, boys vs girls or "smart" vs "dumb." I had the opportunity to work one on one with a student, specifically a boy in the third grade. He was one of the students that acts out of turn more than most and enjoys talking while the teacher is also talking. I was given the task of helping him finish writing a short introductory paragraph. He was an extremely bright child, he just had a little trouble attention-wise. In the classroom I can see how the other kids segregate themselves from him. They are slightly ignorant of him when he is acting out, they also avoid partnering with him in group activities.
